  1. Hi

    we returned late last year. I did a lot of research. these were my findings.

    Many shipping companies wanted to get their workforce to pack the box and they would only use NEW ones.

    We had many of our own original boxes form movie in the first instance so were happy to reuse if we could.

    I used Trans international.

    We decided NOT to take any furniture home, we sold EVERTHING on FB pages and in the end had 32 boxes coming to 5 cubic meters. Cost us $1500 and because i was able to pack myself, NOTHING was broken when it arrived in the UK and all boxes were FULL!(when we arrived in OZ we were amazed how much free space were in some of the boxes packed by the UK shipping company.

     

    When we arrived back in the UK the UK side were amazing with detail and communication. I would, with out fail recommend trans international.

  2. We used a small company (after a recommendation from a friend who moved to America last year) in Leicester called Bell and Son. They were fan-bloomin-tastic! Worked like troopers on one of the hottest 2 days of the year (in the UK). The packing was amazing. We had 2 broken items which is pretty good going, a casserole pot (wont be needing that in Oz anyway!) and a chair leg which was easily fixed (plus I think the 'un-packers' did this when un-wrapping in Oz). Lovely friendly, easy going chaps andreally knew what they were doing. I really would recommend them and they were the cheapest by a good £300. I believe they do deal nationally, not just local to Leicester.

     

    thanks for your experience- what size container did you use?
